The Boeing 247 was the first modern passenger airliner. Although it was eclipsed
by the Douglas DC-3 in numbers made, it was the force that drove the creation of
the DC-2 and subsequently the DC-3.
I had the good fortune to photograph
this aircraft a couple of years ago in it's hanger at the
Seattle Museum of Flight's restoration center at Paine Field in Everett, WA.
It was really great to see it
out in the sunshine (and in the air!).
A note about the photographs: if a thumbnail picture
is a link, clicking on it will load an image approximately 500x300 pixels
large (~60Kb). Under some thumbnails is the word "huge". Clicking
there will load the original scanned image of about 800x500 pixels at JPEG
75% quality (~200Kb).
